I wrote a lot about the need for an information appliance. I think we've pretty much arrived at one: the iPad. A child could figure out how to use it quickly. Compare it to a DOS computer or even an Apple II; it's no longer nearly as much of a hassle or a mystery.

We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.
It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.
Marriage is a mystery, and part of it is just being kind to each other, not being selfish.
